Celio Burrowes
"I had my first consultation with Dr. Burrowes on February 5, 2002. I was so excited after having to wait three(3) months to get an appointment. His office staff was so wonderful and friendly. During my office visit, they took pictures, discussed their survey and had me watch a live video of the open RNY procedure. They also had several photo albums of previous patients with their before and after photos. This was very entertaining and inspirational. Finally, after about four hours, Dr. Burrowes came into my room and introduced himself. He started off by telling me about himself and where he studied and how long he's been in this field. He then asked questions about me and my health problems and the experiences I've been through battling my weight. He went over the types of surgery that are available and then he detailed the surgery that he would perform and why he only perform two out of the ones we discussed. He also discussed how this surgery should be used as mean to changing the bad eating habits that I've been experiencing in the past. He also discussed the risks of the surgery and told me that I had time to think about if this is what I really wanted to do. He encourgaged me to do more research and talk to many different people to get a variety of opinions. Dr. Burrowes was very patient and took his time explaining the procedure (before and aftercare). On a scale of one to ten. HE GETS A TEN, so far!rnrnSurgeon Update as of October 2006:rnrnI still have much love and respect for my surgeon. He has continued to advise me on the best ways to get the most out of my tool. He, his staff and the bypass support group continues to operate with lots of love, support, and professionalism. There is only one thing that I would stress that he change and that's not doing his bypass procedures Open. Overall he get's a TEN!!rnrn"
